Hey y’all! So…today…a new WIP idea came to me. It’ll just be a side project, but…heh….I’m already intrigued by it. I put it in fantasy bc it’s Dystopian, but the only place that’s made up is the Country they live in. š Otherwise, it’s real. (In that America, Israel, Germany, etc. still exists) But…considering I’ve never written Dystopian before…does anyone have any advice? š If you don’t have any advice, I’d still love some thoughts! šš
Anywho, y’all are probably ready for the BLURB!!! (oh, and the mood board, hehe…š) But first, tags!
@koshka. @elishavet-pidyon. @queen_of_alvastia. @godlyfantasy12. @keilah-h. @gracie-j. @ava-blue. @saraina.THE BLURB!!!!
50 yearsā¦thatās how much time has passed
since nuclear war and a corrupt government
destroyed Kandia
Forever.
Lukis has known nothing but life under Acheros, Sworn Protector of Kandia. Living in the wastelands beside his outsider crew thatās almost like a family, heās actually satisfied. Except for one thing. Seven years agoā¦his older brother disappeared suddenly. He hasnāt seen him since. And thenā¦a strange man comes to the wastelands, claiming heās from a city known as Jerusalem, bringing a message. A belief. A story. And a religion banned from Kandia for decades. And if Lukis dares to stand for itā¦it could cost him his life.
Raine is an Assassin, forcibly employed by Acheros, the ruler of Kandia. Heās good at his job and paid well. Life is fineā¦until the past comes knocking again, returning in the form of a nineteen-year-old boy who was twelve the last time Raine saw him. Everything inside of him aches to return home but knowing the things heās doneā¦he canāt. But when the boy begins standing up for a belief in a Godā¦a Saviorā¦that has been banned for decades, and thus targeted for being thrown into a Re-Think Camp, Raine knows he has to rescue him. But will it be too late?
Both pulled together again, the past is finally brought to light, the evil corruption of Kandiaās government is revealed, and they find the truth.
But in Kandiaā¦the truth can come at a cost.
Will they be caught?
And if soā¦
Will they stand or will they buckle?
And if they refuse to back downā¦
Will they survive?
THE MOODBOARD!!!!
(Lukis is up top. Raine is right below him. Love them both already. šš¤©šš¤©)
And the book’s title…is…
š„IN THE FIREš„

September 21, 2022 at 9:27 pm #117961You came up with all that TODAY? *blinks* This is EPIC!! I don’t have much experience writing dystopian so I can’t give suggestions on that, but the blurb is sooo intriguing!
~kindling hope through stories~

I just got home and I need to do the dishes so I can’t read this right now, but I will try to soon. (Another WIP? XD keep it up!)

September 22, 2022 at 11:26 am #118030@freedomwriter76 Ooh, sounds epic! Can’t wait to see where you’re going! And yes, I get the “wanting to put them in the RP but can’t” thing. Feather, Rinzler, Crosshair and Jareth (the first two our group hasn’t met yet) are probably enough. But once Rinzler’s RP gets back up, I might add his half-sister, Aurelia. But then again, that might be too many.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

September 22, 2022 at 11:45 am #118033@freedomwriter76 afraid Iāve never written dystopian and donāt really read much about it, but this sounds INCREDIBLE!!! Sounds like youāve got a great start IMO!!

@godlyfantasy12. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!! šššš
September 22, 2022 at 12:31 pm #118040@freedomwriter76 You’re welcome! I also have a dystopian story idea, but it’s kinda at a standstill because I have more character ideas than plot ideas…… XD

@keilah-h. Many of my ideas are at a standstill…it’s a part of being a writer. XD
September 22, 2022 at 12:47 pm #118042@freedomwriter76 yep. Most of my original ideas sorta fail. My fanfictions have a ton more success for some reason.

@keilah-h. So far…all my fanfics do the same. They always come a lot further, and I think it’s because I’m not worrying about them being “good enough” for publishing. XD
